About

I am a naturally hands-on and creative person with a strong passion for technical problem-solving and practical work. My background in woodwork and the arts gave me a love for building and working with my hands—something that fits seamlessly into the physical and technical demands of life on deck. I enjoy staying active and busy, and I thrive in environments where hard work and teamwork bring results. Outside of yachting, I am passionate about fitness—whether it’s hiking, cycling, jujitsu, or watersports—and I have recently discovered a love for diving, which I intend to pursue further with a Divemaster qualification. I also have a strong interest in aviation and plan to complete both my PPL and CPL, with the hope of one day combining my two passions by flying helicopters in the yachting industry. At my core, I am easy-going, motivated, and always looking for opportunities to learn new skills and grow personally and professionally.
